No, you shouldn't use API for windows.

To use API for windows the option name should be "use recycle bin options" - but no software does this.

"confirm file delete" suggests it's a local option.

This is what non-programmers expect:


"use recycle bin" on => use windows API, "confirm file delete" option disabled (It's irrelevant)


"use recycle bin" off => use File.Delete (recursively), "confirm file delete" option enabled
"confirm file delete" on => MessageBox.Show Y/N
